Ingredients
- 1 bag mini pretzel twists (about 50 pretzels)
- 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers (about 8 ounces)
- 1 small package candy eyes (about 50 pairs)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Arrange the mini pretzel twists in a single layer, leaving about an inch between each one.
- Place the white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until completely smooth (about 1-2 minutes total). If the chocolate seems too thick, stir in the coconut oil until smooth.
- Spoon the melted white chocolate into a piping bag or zip-top bag. If using a zip-top bag, snip off a tiny corner—about the size of a pinhead.
- Working with one pretzel at a time, pipe zigzag lines of white chocolate across the pretzel to create the mummy wrap effect, leaving a small gap in the middle for the eyes.
- While the chocolate is still wet, press two candy eyes into the gap you left in the middle. Use tweezers for precision if desired.
- Allow the chocolate to harden completely—let them sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes if in a hurry.
- Once the chocolate is firm, carefully remove the mummy bites from the parchment paper. Serve or store.
Notes
White chocolate is sensitive to heat and moisture; microwave in short bursts and avoid water. Add candy eyes immediately after piping chocolate to ensure they stick. For best texture, use thick, sturdy pretzels. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for up to a week. These can be frozen for up to 3 months.
